Flight Attendant Job Description

The flight attendant job has evolved throughout the years. It started as a glamorous career for single, beautiful women and nowadays evolved to a more safety oriented job. Still the day to day routine of flights, schedules, and hotels makes it a very interesting career for those that have customer service skills and enjoy traveling and getting to work with different groups of people from different backgrounds.

United Airlines Interview Questions

There are different steps to obtain a confirmation that you were granted a position as a flight attendant candidate. The first step is an Open House call, usually in the city where you reside (but it might not be the city where you might be based later on). There you take a simple test and you get to speak about yourself in front of the rest of the candidates. If you pass the first step you are called for a second interview . There you are separated in different groups and asked different questions. The observers look at the way you interact in the group, there is not a valid response so they look for your communicational skills and the way you conduct yourself with the rest. If you pass you are sent for a medical check and later on you are assigned a date for your training class. I would recommend wearing business attire, conservative, something that will give your interviewer an idea of how will you look in a flight attendant uniform.
